Finished this one today not too bad just managed the second 3 minutes. Seemed to have made my legs sore on the walks I have done on the weekend on my "rest" days.

I was trying to keep up a good speed but with no treadmill it isn't accurate and walked for over an hour both days with no slowing. What do other people do on their rest days. Last time I did the program I used to just potter around the house, but I have set myself a challenge to walk over a 1,000 miles this year so need to get out most days.

TIA

You can do what you want on non-run days - walk, cycle, swim, zumba, yoga, pilates, gardening, home or gym based workouts (I use Jillian Michaels exercise DVD's) etc etc. Just generally try and do something, and keep moving.

I borrow a dog! We have lots of adventures!
